Another awesome video..Next week my daughter will be pulling pins from WW2 grenades while I record from a distance 😂
Whut.
Lmao
Sounds great let's get started
Why your daughter ? Take your mother-in-law there!
Better your mother-in-law doesnt call Hope becaaaaaauuuuuuse Hope iiiiiiis...
Liked how you did the clean version after every find
Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Greetings from us.
WW2HistoryHunter thank you! Catch you on the next one
i agree its really nice!
Yes I agree, great idea.
I can imagine the guy wake up on Sunday morning full of energy to go dig a mine field with his daughter🤣🤣🤣
Some people do sports, others defuse mines. We all got something that brightens up our day
Most of the mines have probably been found but there could still be some, thats why they put up the warnings.
Still kinda stupid tho, but if you like it. Just go ahead do this. I wouldn't.
Thanks for watching :)
It is very nice to see you with your children and getting them involved. Always good to be with your children as they grow up giving them lifelong memories.
Appreciated my friend and greetings from us.
Just having a really good time chilling here in this mine field with my daughter, nothing dangerous
Thanks Gabriel and greetings from us.
WW2HH: Minefield ahead
Daughter: I am behind you every step of the way Dad!
Thanks for watching.
Nice to hear your daughter out with you for this adventure, love how your kids enjoy going out on these trips.
Well at least we are spending great times together. Thanks
Never ceases to amaze me how many places you keep finding. You certainly have your sources. Thanks BBG and HH
We do have great research behind our explores yes and thanks Laura :)
There are large areas in France that have not been cleared of WWII mines. Huge.
There are also places in France that still have unexploded mines and ordnance from the First World War, Vimy Ridge is one such place.
Ukraine has a lot of German and Soviet mine fields left over from WWII. The German mine fields are marked vary well and a lot of local villagers know where they are. As for the Russian mine fields they are not clearly marked on maps but most villagers know where not to go.
Not to long ago a French farmer roll his tractor over a mine....that was the last of him.
@@onrr1726 If I visit Ukraine someday, I'll avoid walking in the woods then lol
Thanks for watching.
I saw a Frence Guy on the D Day beach doing the same thing for the same mine but they were rusted up because of the salt water. They have the potential here of finding something which is still live and dangerous
Thanks for watching.
Was a minefield? How can you be sure there aren't any mines left? Haha
You've got some serious balls
you cant and that is what is so great :) Thanks for watching.
question for you would you be stupid enough to take your daughter into a mine field?? don't takes balls to do that it takes someone really stupid any 1 of those mines could have blown up in has face
@@johnsepulveda443 yeah because we saw how all of those detonators were in primo condition huh?
@@harrisonvc9175 all you need to do is step on one just 1 that has a detonator intact and that's your ass and they have kids in nam that are losing legs from mines left in the 1960's so guess what it can and has happened in the past where people have been killed by going into minefields
john sepulveda you know the s mine was designed not to kill the person who stepped on it but to cripple them an killing or wounding the other soldiers or person close to the person with the hundreds of metal shrapnel in it
I just love in the beginning of the video how he is randomly walking through a minefield, completely oblivious to the danger signs…
Thanks for watching.
Where’s this at? My wife needs to visit. 👍
“Mine” too.
😂
@@sassyt1545 Take mine too. Girls day out.
Lmao!!!!
My wife’s ok, but I’d pay for my mother-in-law to go along.
This is crazy. You got some guts to go into a mine field. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
You are really brave to walk through a minefield with mines being there over 80 years.
Awesome video my friend, great finds! :)
S Mines are really interesting, i always really love to find relics from them.. but it's scary at the same time.. you never know if you're gonna find a complete one!
Stay safe, and thanks for sharing!
Gr Nick
SO true my friend nd they are still out there you know. Happy hunting out there and more Luck to you. Greetings from us.
@HistorySecrets Great to find you in the comment section of this video, I recently found this channel because I was watching some of your videos and now my life is definitely better hehe😁 I love your WW2 Room btw, it's really impressing💪
@@XBadAssGamesX Thank you my friend, great to hear that! :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter mate stop digging up mines.. This will end very badly..
That’s what I always wanted to find, bouncing fragmentation mines. The Germans also used wood to fabricate mines. If you saw what a mine can do, you wouldn’t want to find them.
Thanks for watching.
the wood ones are rotten away and not dangerous bet they used Glass mines too.
It’s just amazing as to how many items are still out there to be found. You would think that over seventy years after the war, everything would have been found. So I guess when they cleared the mind fields, they just cast the detonators to the side and took the mines to be disposed of? It’s amazing that the small wires on the detonators were still there after all these years. Nice find on the button Bunker Buster Girl. I wonder if a soldier was crouched down behind the railroad tie and when he got up, it got hung on the tie and came off? Many nice items being found.
yes i think they just tossed the detonators as the mines were the important stuff. Thanks Anthony.
That's awesome that you and your daughter got to spend time with each other and teaching her about history
Love to be out there and sharing my friend :)
Love all your videos! You are living the dream. I've watched you since you started, I appreciate all you do!! Keep sharing your adventures and digging up the past.
That is appreciated my friend and a greeting your way from us :)
Anytime!! Cheers
I love your videos my man, however this is NUTS! They could still be active although most you are finding seem to be in pieces.
Ok and thanks for watching.
I take my daughter to Starbucks and get her nails done. You search for mines with yours. I envy yall!
Well , People are different all over the world i Guess :) Thanks
So where are the rest of the mines?
You know, the part that goes 'BOOM!"
They were removed after the war most likely. Thanks
This is only a detonator and would kept separate from the mine until arming the mine. Typically a mine would be laid, then the detonator inserted.
Handling an armed mine is extremely dangerous. Even handling a 50 year old detonator is extremely dangerous.
@@peterking2651 Yea. But these are 74 years old and very damp.
I can see why you bring the kids, they always find cool stuff:) Great vid. again my friend.
they sure do and thanks.
Wow!..The made former German soldiers dig up graves, but ignored minefields?..Great video...thanks..I really appreciate your hard work
Jon Doe : yes, when/where they knew they existed.
There's a very good movie about young german boys forced to clear mine fields in Holland after the war
Well , they left most except the mines. They were removed as you can see. Thanks
a mine can stay in the ground for 50 years once 50 years pass then it is safe to pick them up if ( if you think the minefield is still unsafe then stay away from it)
Thanks for comment and for watching.
NO IT IS NOT! Depending what explosive was used it can’t become very unstable, and just touching a mine can cause a detonation.
I was a British soldier, and part of my training is in mine warfare, and anti handling techniques (you touch something it goes bang).
Unless you are a certified ATO (Ammunition Technician Officer, aka bomb disposal) DO NOT TOUCH this stuff, it will kill you!.
The Germans were known for having different fuses in their potato smasher grenades, including one that caused an immediate detention (booby trap).
We had a joke, how can you tell an ATO? They only have three fingers.
This weekend i just found 2 old ww2 antitank mines in the woods by a picnic area... that was crazy, so ye there still are a lot of mines in europe :)
Thanks for watching.
My great grandpa survived stepping kn a land mine back in World War 2 but he lost a leg, the only memory i remember of him i was 5 or 6 years old before he died, im 14 now.
Thanks for watching.
When I read that you were going to explore a German minefield I nearly sprayed my computer with coffee I hope you had spare underwear I would have needed them .good video thank you and keep safe.
MysteryFan no its not its a normal reaction because an s minefield ohh boy you don‘t want to walk into it even if its „cleared“ they could have missed some and if you step on it boom leg is gone and everyone around you dead or seriously wounded because of the metal shrapnels
Thanks for watching.
It's called a railway sleeper.
good to know. Thanks
Sleeper in Australia.
Exciting adventure finding proof of a German WW2 mine field. So cool to find the different pieces of S mine detonators. Glad you and Bunker Buster Girl had quality time together. Greetings to you all.
Great explore it was Beverley and very glad you joined us :) Thanks.
Enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work. I like the the way you take your children on your adventures. It is great that you are teaching them the history of WWII. I now have my 8 year old daughter watching them. Thank you.
wow how great to read. Say hello to Your daughter from us and my son says og out and share time together. Thanks Robert
Thanks for sharing these!
GLad you liked it
railroad tie in America, railway sleeper in UK.
ok and thanks for watching.
There are relics all over Europe from that war. I found a 8mm Mauser casing from a battle near my grandmother's village in Italy. Others have found grenades.
ok and thanks for watching.
Why am i just now finding this channel! Love ww2 stuff like this
Thanks
12:48 You dropped the lose prong right there. Hope you managed to find it again.
ok and thanks for watching :)
the railroad piece of wood is called a "sleeper"
Or a tie.
@Jon Doe , yes i am,
good to know. Thanks
ACHTUNG MINEN!!! 7:41 RAILWAY SLEEPER HH 8:08 Kreigsmarine? in a forest? Strange long way from sea. Good dig!!
Interesting place to say the least. I think the Kriegsmarine managed the ammo storage around there. Thanks Scopex.
I married a german girl and went there, I heard explosion's and was told that is a deer that stepped on landmine, they are everywhere still to this day
new england patriot Wurde nicht alles abgesucht und entfernt?
Thanks for watching.
I think they trolled you xD
Balls of Krupp-Steel; I'd rather consider taking my ex wife with me into the mine fields...
Thanks for watching :)
Old mines cover in ground this is dangerous
Most of the mines were removed they would take the detonator off and remove the larger explosive piece , but yes some of the mines may well be left
Well , the risk of mines are always there but one can read the metaldetectors signal for that. I can promise you that a Complete ine RINGS out very loud and With a specific signal strenght every time. But that is not the case of glass mines etc. But they were used in other types of situations then here. Thanks
S minen explained: when you step on it they jump hip high end then the jacked filled with round bullets explodes shattering dossens of these projectiles in a round killing area. Dangerous stuff, awsome invention dough.
Thanks for watching.
Those would make for great replacement "No Trespassing" signs.
indeed they would :)
Sharing some moments with his daughter, very dangerous to risk this, AP mines are devastating. Do not play this game.
Thanks for watching.
I wouldn't want to go in a area like that myself in case there was a mine missed
Thanks Ryley and greetings from us.
@@WW2HistoryHunter hello back from me, it's been a while since I've watched the videos, I should start again, I've been kinda out of touch with ww2 history for a while.
The wooden pieces between the railroad tracks are called ties or sleepers. Nothing like a relaxing stroll through a minefield. It's amazing you can still find those detonators after so .any years.
He he , thanks for that Bob and lots of history to be found there is seems. Greeting Your way !
Wow, so many awful comments. This is my first video, nice to see a father spending time with his daughter.God bless, and stay safe:.
Yes, thank you
S-Mines also known as Bouncing Betty's>
!
That is true. Appreciate you watching.
HyperFoxTails If it’s anything like call of duty. Just lay down, you wont get hit🤣🤣 kidding. Im not that dumb.
Some great finds again good to see the team back together looking forward to more of the same thanks for sharing 🇬🇧🖖
Thanks for that :)
This is more fun than playing in Traffic!!!! Bring a good Metal Detector to try your luck!
Appreciate you watching
Bouncing Betty is perhaps the worst girlfriend you can encounter,if you have a bad day,at being metal detecting.
There you go and thanks for being here :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter i searched thru my storage,and found the ww2 machine gun cartridges, i found 18 years ago, with my First metal detector, 5 different types,in my hometown. The german cartridges have date Codes from 1936,1937,and 1939.
Hi HH
I’ve got some s mine pieces
Courtesy of you
My friend in my diorama
Cheers
yes you have and they are real findings from the the beaches where it all happened my friend. Glad to see that you have one of Our dioramas hanging on Your wall in that way history is everyhwere. Thanks my friend and Greetings from us.
Wow I'm mind blown ... those two pins they're actually WWII U.S. Marine Corps pins. That definitely means a fallen U.S. SOLDIER... 🇺🇸 R.I.P
ok and thanks for watching.
Army Transport service buttons. Can't really imagine why he'd be in a minefield though. They didn't have much to do with actual on-the-ground missions so it's odd. Maybe they dumped a dead POW body there.
@@ghost2021a the plot thickens ..!
MFVEGAS R.I.P. US Soldier.
MFVEGAS how do u know that
If you go to the Western Desert (North Africa), you will find one of the most heavily-mined areas in the world. The Italians, Germans, and British all mined it, but never went back to retrieve them. While I was working in Cairo, there would be an almost weekly report of someone detonating one of them; usually with fatal results.
Thanks for sharing and for watching.
The cable looks a little to loose, would be better it was closer to the linkage.
ok and thanks for comment and for watching.
I'd only take my Mother-In-Law for bonding moments in a mine field! (and only if I was the one that got to hold the metal detector.)
Hey Mom step on that bug right there.... But wait until I go about 20 yards over here...
@@scottdunn1093, makes one wonder why the military doesn't make every tenth mine detonator look like spiders, or other creepy crawlies huh? Even if a lonely, long deployed and seasoned soldier knew it was a trap, it would be hard to resist a mine detonator with a preview of porn on the top and a caption that said, "unedited view on back" lol
Maybe for the newer, technologically addicted young soldier, a built in version of the video game "Just Dance" would be in order to put into a mine.... "What the hell were you thinking, private??!!" "But Sarge, it was a Just Dance screen there on the ground, begging me to dance, I couldn't resist!" "Private, you're a lucky idiot, it was only a Bieber tune and somehow you couldn't resist???!!"
Thanks for watching :)
Come on kids lets go dig up land mines !!!
Here we go :) Thanks.
You got some balls walking casually through a minefield!
Thanks for watching.
Screws are for setting tension on trip wires. I’m a retired Senior US Army Officer
Thanks Sandy
Are you crazy? Going into a mine field. I assume most are not working but why take a chance.
Why not
Thanks for watching :)
What we need on the southern wall.
I agree, with the bloated blimp they have for a president down south, you Canadians should definitely consider reinforcing the border!
Thanks for watching.
You could probably use a bigger disc for sweeping
Could be and thanks for watching.
He found a mint still in the wax paper detonator one time. It was beautiful.
Sure did and more. Thanks
I would leave it to if I lost the war, not my issue as you occupy 😂
Thanks for watching.
Fair play my dude, is it me or this guy has the best voice to listen to, two, questions, do you speak fluent English? How do you have the balls to do this? Love your videos man.
Thanks for watching and greetings from us.
This is a great way to stay sane in lockdown..
ok and thanks.
Well good thing you had bunker buster girl with you ! Great location! Fantastic finds ! Thank y’all . 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Slightly concerning you'd take your daughter to hunt a mind flied :S Stay safe!
Well , considering having metaldetectors and knowing what the typical signal for a mine is i thin kit is pretty safe and you also have to remember that the mines were typically removed With 99 % accuracy after the war. Thanks for commet and for watching.
At least he has one name to carry on
Has anyone ever told you that your voice sounds like a, John Malkovich 😎👌🤣
ok and thanks for comment and for watching.
I was nervous every time you started digging! Lol. Well done, as always, my friend! God bless you and your family!
dont be my friend. We do have ( mine ) detectors With us :) Thanks
I found a WW2 minefield w/ original wooden sign in Metz, France. (1985) Came up to it from behind the sign so I guess I walked through it. Tried to take the wooden sign but it disintegrated in my hands.
Yes old stuff like that would get easily destroyed. Thanks and greetings from us.
Your not afraid they might have missed some?
That is why we have a ( mine ) detector coming along i think. Thanks for watching.
@@WW2HistoryHunter careful please they are unpredictable!
Hey I found something 'CLICK'😲
You will never hear the click i think….they are rusty :) Thanks
I’ve been fascinated with tactics used in WW2 and when it comes to mines, the Germans and Japanese went nuts. Large forested areas, rough coastal areas and dense jungle were mostly deployed in mass by aircraft.
Thanks my friend.
Find all your videos very very interesting!
Glad you think so!
This sounds like a bad idea right out of the gate, walking into a German minefield
Seriously 👀brave I’ll be praying for
yall
Thank you for taking tie to watcha nd comment.
look for a German tiger tank from the Second World War
I dont think you quite grasp the concept of metal detecting 😂
we do , all the time :)
Glad to see your daughter back with you. !!
yes and she will pay visits every now and then. Thanks Pam
History found right there in front of our eyes.
I always find that amazing no matter what it is.
Liked the video very much.
Many thanks.
i totally agree. doesnt matter of the finds are small or big ,still a great find. Thanks
Holy Madonna!
Thanks
Interesting information and an idea of what the warriors faced to survive.
So true and greatly appreciate your kindness James :)
This makes me want to play more battlefield on my xbox.....
Thanks for watching
I love all of your videos
I have a big obsession with the world war 2 era mainly the eastern front. Would love to do the things you do man
Thanks for that Bear
Bunker Buster Girl does it again. You could just sit back and let her find all the history treasures. It’s amazing the button was that close to the surface. I wonder if it got bent by the railroad tie when a soldier dived behind it for cover? It’s amazing you can find the detonators with the prongs still intact. You would think they would have rusted off over the years. I know you know what your doing but I worry about you being in the mine fields. So happy to see you and your daughter sharing history with us. Great video.
Yes she is a WW2 magnet my friend :) Thanks.
I am an old bomb disposal tech and I think you are NUTS!
Thanks for watching.
Once I went on vacation took a walk and realized I was in a mine field
ok and thanks for watching.
I do enjoy watching you’re videos
That is appreciated my friend and greetings from us.
interesting video as always thanks for sharing your adventures
Thank you Shaun for watching.
So very interesting. Wow. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Did anyone else yell BOOM! whenever he started digging?
There you go :) Thanks :)
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Your daughter has the touch.
Appreciated and greetings from us Aaron :)
Very nice. Cool finds.
Great location and a Nice day outside. Thanks Gregg
Yay BBG! Great finds!
She is a star and thanks my friend :)
Great video. Glad to see you spending time with your daughter. You make a great team finding neat artifacts.
yes , great day outside and thannks for watching.
Love your videos! I live in Kaiserslautern for the next 3-5 years and would love to hunt history with you sometime! I’ve only been metal detecting for 2 months now but have already made some cool finds!!
good Luck out there and thanks for watching.
Once again fantastic and educational post BUT I don't know about lurking around metal detecting in an old minefield is pretty dangerous, mate!!
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
You guys are way more gutsy than me. I'm not prancing around in an S-mine field.
Thanks for watching.
WW2HistoryHunter and daughter,,,hi folks,,,kc,keith here,,seriously amazing video yet again,how do you keep giving us such amazing videos 👍,it was a detonator kind of day I see pitty the weather was poor but fantastic finds from the mine field,,totaly loving it folks best channel by far,,serious respect and apreciation . (loving it),be safe,kc,keith,uk,,keep smiling, ; ) huge fan.
We will be safe my friend and as always thanks a lot for Your kind Words and for taking tie to comment and watc.
Cool video! Appears that the mine field was fortunately gone through a while back ago and some components were tossed about.
Thanks for taking interest and for watching.
